Ive had several experiences with the police due to my mental health. Ive had them barge in on me during the middle of the night to help ensure my safety. I refused to cooperate but assured them i was fine so in the end they gave up and left. I also got so depressed that i stopped all communication with friends and family. The police were called to my residence to see whether i was dead or had run off. There was also the time when i was being abused and was trying to make a call to the hostel i was living at and instead it went to voicemail while i was screaming out in terror. The police then came to see me some time later in the hostel to enquire about my safety. Most of the experiences have been alright if a little invasive in terms of treatment. Ive had far worse experiences with paramedics who in my experience have been nothing but rude and insensitive. Interesting thread.
